- An AFP photographer captured a chilling photo in
Kabul ,Afghanistan , on Wednesday. - An armed
Taliban fighter walked past defaced images of women outside a beauty salon. - It was a visual reminder of the anxiety and fear many Afghans have under the militant group's rule.
As the Taliban retake Afghanistan for the first time in 20 years following a $4 of the country, which ended in the fall of Kabul on Sunday, vandalized posters of women underscore a $4 for their future.
Images of women outside a $4 were painted over after the Taliban assumed control over the country, and other photographs show posters defaced. Photojournalist Wakil Kohsar captured the scene on Wednesday for Agence France-Presse.
During the $4, women were not allowed to work or attend school. They were also barred from leaving their homes without the presence of a man and were forced to cover their faces or risk punishment.
While the militant group has $4 this time, $4 they'll keep that promise, and afraid of what the new Taliban rule might bring.
